Hi Quirky. Have you tried NSAIDS? Aspirin plus acetamenophen plus caffeine (Excedrin, or Anacin, or Vanquish) worked well for me in the past. You need to take them regularly every day to have the best chance of them helping you. They have a cumulative effect.

Gentle hugs dear, and fingers crossed for you.

I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
